Visiting in the country.

The season OF the year has come
whom nearly every body In . city that
has Q cousin or some relative In Who
o ,antry is packing up TO pay that coun.
try relative visit, perhaps conssdera.
bly, extended one. Country coasine are
proverbialiy hospitAble and glad to sec
and meet their cousins from the city,
but Tor this Cause alone care should be
taken by the visitors not to Inn pose upon
them, for ~ general rule they are 90
'ovsrrun With company that the end Of
the summer dnds them worn out.
Every member OF household Is an
aided care to the head OF 1t, especially
II, - 10 often the case, there are few
servants, or none ct oil, and II the nis.
tre.s 10 unfortunate enough not to possess
. corps Of well-trained douestics too
much company is very apt to disAr.
range the household affairs. An ex
change has been 90 very kind as to
give some valuable hints on country
visiting, which, IL folio we'd out, will
save perhaps much trouble and pro-
long friendships often very much
strained. The exchange says: II you
are fortunate enough to have q friend
to whom you know visit will afford
real pleasure, by . little forethought
you can make II still more enjoyable.
In the arss place fix q time for your
departure before you arrive. IL you do
not do this be sure to state upon your
arrival when you will depart, snd be
sure you leave on that day, no matter
how urgently you may be requested TO
remain. 1t Is better to have your de-
parture sincerely regretted than to have
the iHintest feeling Of reliet tina, you
are gone. There are many ways also
by which Q summer visitor may be .
real help. II circumstances warrant
you can offer your aid In household
matters and spend IN hour picking
peas and whipping the cream, which
you are after wArds TO enjoy, and II you
SEQ that assistance OF that kind Will
not bs acceptable there will still be
something that you can do. You can
arrange the f)wers shat perhaps the
busy housewife never huds time for,
aud yet enjoys 30 muoh. You can COAX
the children out OF the kitchen when
you know she Is specially busy, and
entertain them in your own room, and
there ar3 countless other little things
shat kind heart aud . qaick eye will
discover, In which you oan make your
presence constant comfort.
1t Is TO be regretted that 30 many
people make . visit to the country
really dissgreea bic, simply for want oil
. disposition to turn In and help along
. little In the household cares thu,
often oppress the busy and worn -ouI
housewife. The city cousins who go tt
the country simply to sleep and eat sut
dress, and pout because they are no
taken out to ride behind the tired fsrn
horses as often as they desire, had bet
ter not 90 to the country At all. The.
would not be welcome.

We heartily second the movement 10
secure the square Of ground at Tenth
end Lombard streets, upon which the
late Fourth Of July festivities were
held, or somc other square, for the pur.
poses OF club house and place Of
recrsa!ion for the people Of that section
Of the city. The movement may not
sxlke some CLOSELY laced minds ~ the
proper thing TO do, but there can be
but one decision In regard to 1t, aud
that 10 that IL would be conducive to
the morals Of the community. Better
by far thss the young people Of this
denssly populated section OF the city
should spend what leisure time they
have In harmless recreation than 70
loaf around gin mills and Cigar stores.
Were suoh . place estA Ablished there
could be we'll arranged 'o,s race course
IL awn tennis, cricket and crcq net grounds
and places for every other kind oil
harmless athletic sports. Bat, SAX,
somebody, who generally carPs and
cavils At every effort to improve the
moral and physical condition Of the
people, when have the people tine to
spend In such recreasons7
We answer the question by asking
another. How do many men get time
ID spend hours In places where morals
ara not benefited? They are found
GRO wding the saloons, crowdiLg cigAI
stores, looking upon degrading eKhlbi'
ttous OF human nature on Front street
aud standing upon the street corners.
These people would not frequent these
places II they had auy other place
to 60. II would be much more agree
able for them to 60 70 har rmless place
OF recreation and see suoh fests OF
agility rs the Wsrren Athletic Olub
practices, to see game Of cricket, lawn
tennis or oroquet For this purpose let
the grounds be lit mp with electric lights
at night 20 that there can be o good
view OF all the sports and games. A
place like this coald be made self
sustaining without the charge OF au
sd mission fee, and We hope the gentle
men who have moved In the matter
will not cease their efforts until the
protest is put into full operation ard
will have been given q fair trial.
